I don't think Ramo was ever going to be an option for the Flames in the offseason. This season and last have been akin to the old Trevor Kidd and Rick Tabaracci days of the 90's where the team continued to make the mistake of going with them because of brief glimmers of good play surrounded by a lot of mediocrity and poor play. I believe the Flames plans are clean slate on this one regardless of this injury. Hartley probably deserves this at the very least if they are going to give him another season.
